Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Before connecting the Freezer to the mains supply make
sure that the thermostat control dial is set at position in
OFF.
2. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to set it to the desired
position, bear in mind that the MID position is the correct
temperature for storing already frozen food.
3. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently freeze
your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
4. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold
enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need
a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available
from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the
thermometer in the freezer and leave overnight. The
correct temperature for the freezer should be -18°C or
lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of your appliance is controlled by a thermostat. MAX Position makes
the appliance colder and is used for fast freezing (see fast freezing section). The recommended
position is between MID but should be adjusted according to its environment. The appliance
may not operate correctly if it is in a particularly hot or cold room or if the lid is opened often or
for prolonged periods.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect
juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the
fridge compartment.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all
parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the
doors. We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take
food out.
